Dianna Russini @diannaESPN On the day in which he could make his final decision, free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. is honing in on the Chiefs, Packers and Saints, per league sources.


If that really is the three, I can't see how he doesn't sign with Packers.

Evan Massey @massey_evan Per source, the #Packers believe they have a good chance to land Odell Beckham Jr. However, a deal is NOT done and he is still weighing options and listening.

Sounds like Beckham wants Packers, but Packers are more "meh" and Beckham wants cash. Something Packers don't have.

The problem is he just absolutely showed that teams can't fully trust him, as he just screwed the Browns (unless they knew he was demanding a trade well before hand).

So yeah teams are willing to bring him it... but you have to do it on a deal where you can kick his butt to the door if needed.

He needs a great second half to rebuild teams trust in his potential...

Bucs have publicly said they're out. I'm not sure why but Cardinals, Rams, Chargers and Bills haven't even been slightly mentioned.

That just leaves Packers, Chiefs and Seahawks. I guess maybe Saints, but who's their QB? OBJ needs a good QB! And Chiefs and Seahawks are currently out of the playoffs looking in...

So unless the Packers tick him off, I don't see why he doesn't do minimum with the Packers.

He demands a great QB... and a shot in the playoffs... not many clear shots of that right now.

Davante Adams on OBJ joining another alpha: "I think he had 1 catch for 6 yards in his last game there, I can promise we can get him more over here---if he's OK with 2 catches for 12 yards, we'll be good"....lots of laughs on that one

Davante is great

Looking at Adams stats, I think you could argue Love game was his worse with 6 catches for 42 yards... he's had games with less catches but more yards, but minimum has been 4 catches.

I just didn't except a very steong majority of OBJ's games to be under 3 catches for 30 yards...

But they are very heavy on the run and short passes.

Everytime you check the story, there is a new #1 place...

Pure speculation here, but I think it's down to Chiefs and Packers... he'd love to go home to New Orleans but he truely wants a great QB and he's starring at Rodgers and Mahomes.

And he's researching how he'd fit in both systems...

Ideally he'd like to chase a Ring, which would be the Packers considering the Chiefs are currently outside looking in...

But you have to consider the system, he hated how he fitted in the Brown's wide zone system and Packers run the wide zone system as well (more aggressive with their passing and less power running, but still similar).

While the Chiefs run an extremely aggressive pass system which OBJ would probably be a lot happier with than any version of the wide zone. But the Chiefs got some very good speed WRs and OBJ might be the #3 even after he gets up to speed behind Hill and their TE, and again, are they going to the playoffs?

Plus is OBJ looking for just end of this year, or long term? If he's looking long term, is Rodgers staying in GB? Packers can't afford to pay everyone...

If the Packers truely want OBJ, they should make sure they try some deep shots this weekend.

But I think the bottom line is does he want to chase a ring (Packers) or does he want system happiness and to try to set something up long term (Chiefs)?


I'm currently thinking he'll choose the Chiefs, unless he's truely want to chase a Ring ASAP... and then maybe sign with his home area of New Orleans once they get a QB (or just get to choose high profile QB again).

I believe he's taking his time because he just turned 29 and is probably thinking 2022 is going to be his last big contract. Do I want a run at a championship or do I want to set myself up for a big pay? Can I do both? What's more important to me, being WR2/3 for a ring, or go to a team that can pay me cash and be WR1?

Honestly, I think he has a lot to mull over. Personally, I'd have taken the veteran minimum to join Packers. I'm all about that Super Bowl and then in 2022 I say OK salary cap took big jump, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

But, maybe he doesn't want to be on a fourth team in like five years?

I've also wondered if the Packers could of offered him a contract, as of next week, because there is just too much going on this week... specifically at the QB position.

Do you want to bring in OBJ while your QB1 isn't around? QB2 certainly doesn't need any extra distractions should he be the one playing.

Also with Rodgers and Yiadom going to the Covid list, they had two spots available, but bringing OT Bahk back and they're hoping to get Rodgers back means possible 0 extra spots... and you don't want to release a WR that has been practicing all week and knows the game plan and had some chemistry with your QB2 should they be playing.

Dianna Russini @diannaESPN There are teams who are talking to Odell Beckham Jr. that believe the free-agent wide receiver will wait until the games are complete on Sunday before making his final decision, per league sources.

https://twitter.com/diannaESPN/status/1458835567760789507 



Waiting for a team to suffer an injury at WR and makes a desperate lucrative offer?

Update: Ian Rapoport just alluded to what I said and also added a nice nugget that Odell seems to want a home for next 2-3 years instead of catch lightning in a bottle for Super Bowl with a one and done.
